Snow flakes the size of goose feathers fell from the gloomy sky, covering the whole world in a white landscape, and under this blanket of silver, there was such a faint path. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Perhaps the ruts compacted the winter snow on the ground, so there were more pedestrians walking, and they walked out of this path.

Heavy snowfall, still falling.

But in the snowstorm, on the narrow road, there was a small black spot at this time.

If someone comes up and looks at it at this time, they will know that the black spot is actually a person.

This man looks like a man, wearing a thick animal hair cloak, lined with a bulging cotton coat under the cloak, and wearing a hat on his head, but if this hat is not matched with a coat, it will inevitably look a little nondescript.

The wind is like a sword, the snow is like a sword, and anyone who encounters such a terrible weather is afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch, but the strange thing is that this man walks fast in the snow, as if this harsh environment has not affected him at all.

After a short time, the man stopped, not because he was physically exhausted and could not advance an inch, but because he found a ruined temple in front of him.

The man walked through the courtyard of the ruined temple until he reached the gate in front of the temple, and when he saw that the gate was closed, he had to reach out and knock on the door.

Knock-knock-knock-knock

"Who?"

"Passerby."

"You wait......"

Squeak-

The originally closed door of the ruined temple opened, and the person who came to open the door was actually a young woman.

This woman is wearing a braided hair and a thickened warrior shirt, perhaps because she has been running around for many years, this woman's skin is very rough, but her original excellent facial features are much inferior.

She stared at the man in front of her with a hat, and asked for caution: "Where did it come from, where are you going?" ”

"From Tupo Village, go to Yanjing City."

"What for?"

"Eh, you girl, why are you asking so much?"

Brush -

The woman pulled out the short knife at her waist and said in a vicious voice: "Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly!" ”

"Girl, don't be rough......" The man seemed to be quite frightened, and his voice trembled: "The little one is a blacksmith from Tupo Village, who went to Yanjing City to find a job." ”

"Blacksmith? Since you are a blacksmith, why didn't you bring a guy to eat? ”

"Hey, it's in the package." The man turned over the basket he was carrying on his back, took out a heavy hammer from it, and said cautiously: "The heavy snow is really fatal, and the road is dangerous, except for this hammer for striking iron, I really can't bring anything else!" ”

The woman with the knife looked at the hammer, pointed the short knife at the man's back basket, and said loudly, "What else is in the back basket?" Pour them all out! ”

"One...... Just some dry food. The man slowly took off the basket, lifted the lid, and showed the woman.

The woman relaxed at this time, and her tone softened a lot: "I'm sorry, when you go out, you always have to be a little precautionary, come in." ”

"Hey, it should, it should." The man leaned over and walked slowly into the ruined temple.

Behind her, the woman closed the gate of the ruined temple again, and when she saw that it was already tightly locked, she followed the man in.

When I entered the ruined temple, the first thing that caught my eye was the big fire erected in the center, and a circle of fierce men with swords sat around the fire, and when they saw a living person coming in, they all stared at him coldly.

On the side of the big fire, there were a few small fires, but most of the people next to these small fires were lonely merchants, but they no longer had the size of the central group.

"Chunhua, who is it?" Outside the fire, a gray-haired old man sitting cross-legged in the middle opened his half-closed eyes and asked the woman who opened the door.

"Daddy, it's a blacksmith from a nearby village, who went to Yanjing City to find a job." The ** flower woman replied crisply.

The old man nodded silently, and then asked the man who had just come in, "What is this brother's name?" ”

The man shook off the snow on his body, took off the hat on his head, revealing a very young face, his neatly trimmed sword eyebrows raised, and said with a smile: "The little surname is Gu, the old man can call me Gu Fan." I don't know what my husband is called? ”

The old man probably didn't expect this blacksmith to be so young, he was slightly stunned, and then he recovered, and said in a deep voice: "Little Brother Gu is polite, the old man is Li Sifang, the head of the Quartet Dart Bureau, and the people in the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname 'Sifang Divine Fist', I don't know which way Gu Little Brother walked?" ”

"Quartet Divine Fist?" Gu Fan scratched the back of his head and shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, Uncle Li, you people in the martial arts are all immortals, we are just honest ordinary people, don't you dare to say what kind of ...... you are on the road."

"You're really a blacksmith?" Li Sifang's white eyebrows twitched, and he wondered.

Gu Fan raised the hammer in his hand and said with a wry smile: "Isn't he just a blacksmith!" Have you ever heard of any martial arts experts in this river and lake who are good at using iron hammers? ”

As soon as these words came out, it made the dart masters sitting in a circle laugh, and Li Sifang couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu said very much, alas, the old man has traveled south and north, and there are countless bodyguards, and he has done a business of licking blood on the knife edge, so it is difficult to guarantee that he is a little suspicious...... If you don't give up, Little Brother Gu can come to our bonfire to warm up. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Gu Fan didn't shirk, and came to the position next to Li Sifang with the basket on his back, and sat down cross-legged.

"Uncle Li, do you know how far this is from Yanjing City?"

"This ...... There is still some distance, and if the snow stops outside, it will be about half a day's walk. Gu Xiaoge really went to Yanjing City to find a job? ”

"yes...... The harvest in the small village is not good this year, and every household in the village has no surplus food, so if they don't go to the city to find some work, how can they survive this winter? Gu Fan sighed and said wistfully.

"In this world, it's not easy for anyone to live!" Li Sifang sighed: "Our Quartet Dart Bureau also protected the darts of Yanjing City this time, if Brother Gu doesn't give up, when the snow stops, we can go together." ”

"That couldn't be better!" Gu Fan said overjoyed.

The two were talking happily, but they heard the gate of the broken temple start to ring again.

Bang Bang Bang -

This time the sound can be described as heavy and urgent, so that the dart masters in the broken temple are all on guard, many of them have already grasped the handle of the knife pinned to their waist with their right hands, and even more have drawn out a single knife, staring at the gate vigilantly.

"Open the door! Open the door! If you don't open the door again, you will crash it open! ”

"Who?"

"Ge Laozi, it doesn't matter who we are! Hurry up and open the door! This ruined temple was opened by your family! ”

"Daddy!" Li Chunhua looked at Li Sifang as if asking for help, Li Sifang stroked the white beard under his chin, squinted and said, "Don't be afraid, you go and open the door." ”

Li Chunhua got the order, and she had to clench the short knife in her hand and walk to the gate of the broken temple......
